"Her bold experiment to teach Iowa third graders about racial prejudice divided townspeople and thrust her onto the national stage. Decades later, Jane Elliott's students say the ordeal changed them for good." (SMITHSONIAN) This article explains the controversial exercise Elliott introduced to teach her students about discrimination following the death of Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968 and reveals that "almost four decades later, Elliott's experiment still matters--to the grown children with whom she experimented, to the people of Riceville, population 840, who all but ran her out of town, and to thousands of people around the world who have also participated in an exercise based on the experiment."
